THE POWER OF MENTORING

Oliva Bibler, Roman Azzarello and Neva Hargreaves, three students from Aerospace and Natural Science Academy of Toledo (Ohio), presented their research via zoom at the Hydrology High School Capstone Culminating Event arranged by George Voltz from the NASA Glenn Research Center Education Office.

The research done by these students illustrates the power of mentoring. Dr. Jodi Haney (GLOBE partner Bowling Green State University), Christine Staschiak (Environmental Engineer from NASA Plum Brook), Tina Harte (NASA Langley), GLOBE Mission Earth Team at the University of Toledo provided guidance throughout the research and sampling process for Ms. Bibler. Ms. Bibler (senior) served as a mentor to Roman Azzarello and Neva Hargeaves (freshman). Their teacher, Laura Kubiak, is a GLOBE Mission EARTH teacher and participated in Arctic SIGNS (Dr. Elena Sparrow) training last year. Ms. Bibler trained a group of freshmen including Mr. Azzarello and Ms. Hargeaves in GLOBE’s hydrology protocols to contribute to the data being collected on her project. The students wanted to determine where nutrients are getting into ditches that feed into the Maumee River ultimately contributing to algae blooms in Lake Erie. Olivia Bibler participated in summer internship (2019) in the STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Program.

Students' Research Posters are included.

NASA’s PACE, US-European SWOT Satellites Offer Combined Look at Ocean

One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined. The ocean is an engine that drives Earth’s weather patterns and climate and sustains a substantial portion of life on the planet. A new animation based on data from […]

NASA’s C-20A Studies Extreme Weather Events

On a changing planet, where phenomena like severe hurricanes, landslides, and wildfires are becoming more severe, scientists need data to assess and model disaster impacts and to potentially make predictions about hazards. NASA’s C-20A aircraft is a significant asset that can carry key instruments for understanding the science behind these phenomena.  Based at NASA’s Armstrong […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
